Rising star Chloe Moriondo has just announced that their new album, SUCKERPUNCH, will be released on October 7th via Public Consumption/Fueled by Ramen.
Working with producers/co-writers including Oscar Scheller (Rina Sawayama, PinkPantheress, Charli XCX), David Pramik (Machine Gun Kelly, Oliver Tree), and Teddy Geiger (Caroline Polachek, Olivia O’Brien), SUCKERPUNCH signals a new era for Moriondo and marks a bold leap forward from the understated indie-pop and jittery pop-punk of her 2021 offering, Blood Bunny. SUCKERPUNCH is available for pre-order here.
The news also comes with the release of first single, “Fruity,” which is a sticky-sweet summer anthem primed for ecstatic screaming along. “Fruity” arrives alongside a bright, colorful video that finds Chloe transforming a drab office into a “super fruity” party. Directed by Raoul Gonzo, the “Fruity” music video can be found below.
Expanding on SUCKERPUNCH and the new single, Moriondo adds, “‘Fruity’ and this album in general are going to be a slap in the fucking face!! I liked the idea of naming the album for something that means an unexpected hit—something you never saw coming. It means the world to me to have the creative means to explore different shiny sounds and work with people I love so dearly on a project that is so new and exciting for me.”
In celebration of the record, Chloe will head out on the “SUCKERPUNCH” tour this October, a U.S. fall headline run featuring support from Dreamer Isioma. The five-week trek kicks off October 12 in Columbus, OH, making stops at The Regent in Los Angeles on October 26 and Irving Plaza in New York City on November 10 before wrapping up with a hometown performance at The Majestic in Detroit, MI on November 19.For up-to-date ticketing information, please head here.
